I agree I said, my one of a kind self Getting stoned every day like Jesus did

Lyric Meaning

Jay-Z agreed with what was said, for he knew he was one of a kind. Jay also uses a play on words, getting “stoned” as in high, smoking weed. Where as in the bible, there are many references to people getting “stoned” as in getting rocks thrown at them and bludgeoned to death. In John 10:30-33 Jesus says: “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”

It’s also a way for Jay to distance himself from the “Jay-Hova” line. He has been at pains to explain throughout his career that he is not calling himself “God”, or comparing himself, but rather than amongst rappers he see’s himself as the pinnacle, and that God works through him.

In Fade To Black, he says “I don’t know how it works man. They say you put the right artist, with the right beat, leave the door open and let God in”.
